when you level, you can raise your Magika (which i believe increases your pool of magika and i THINK something else to do with magic, but I'm not totally sure), health, and stamina (which lets you sprint, use power attacks in melee, and raises your carrying capacity). there are item enchantments, pots, and even blessings that raise all of these.
there are also things to raise sub-categories of those. for example, something that raises ONLY your carrying capacity.
now, in addition to all that when you level you get a point to spend on a perk. perk's include smithing, one-handed weapons, enchanting, destruction (spells category), etc. each perk spent in one of those trees gives you an additional ability or something. for example, if you buy the first one-handed weapon perk, you get plus 20% to one-handed weapon damage. i think the first smithing perk allows you to make steel armors and weapons (while the last one allows you make dragonplate armors). there are pots and enchantments that raise these as well.
so you could use a pot to increase your enchanting and enchant at a higher level for a small amount of time.
i'm the same way. thankfully, you can switch from FP to third person. On the 360 and PS3, you click/press the right(?) joystick. it won't let you do it immediately though. you have to get through about 10 minutes of the game (most of which you can't really do anything - you can look around, but you can't decide where you move; then a bit after that (i think once you learn how to jump you can switch).
i switch to FP when i'm looting shelves as it's easier to aim at items that are out in the open...especially when they are packed tight together (like books).

It's been documented on the elder scrolls wikis as well.
I still wish I had back most of the smithing perks back to utilize into more useful combat perks (you'll find plenty of the ebony, elven, ork, and dwemer and glass weapons and armor later on anyway). I think the limitations of the PS3 and Xbox, and probably most of us consumers who don't want to spend over a grand on a PC or Mac forced them to limit what went into the game (as did production). The game is already stuffed to the max, so much so, that many bugs and gliches made it into the final product. I imagine some of those things were considered and left out to allow in some of the aspects of the game we take for granted.
